i've always been good at fitting running or spinning into my daily routine, but when it comes to strength training, i have a bit of a commitment issue. unless i'm panting and sweating, i don't consider it a workout. this has actually worked to my disadvantage. the more i read about strength training, the more i realize that, if i want to look toned, burn more calories (and actually burn more fat) i have to build muscle. so i started going to pilates plus in venice (there are other locations, too). not only is pilates plus an incredible strength workout, but it is extremely high intensity, and i leave drenched in sweat every single time (which i love). the class is done entirely on the proformer (pictured below) and is focused mainly on upper body and core strength.

classes are one hour long and cost $30 each (your first one is free). i don't like to play favorites, but if you want to know who my favorite teacher is, it's ky. he's fun, energetic, and he'll work you so hard you can't walk the next day. if you want someone a little more low key, try rendel's class. oh, and don't forget to bring your toe sox!
